Nice scramble, if short. In descent from what ended up being a summer ascent of Y-gully in Coire an Lochain (not recommended!) as Savage Slit was wet.

monkeyman79 - 12/Mar/12 with Steve Chapman, Jon Hubbard, David Edmondson

In spite of the time of year, more like summer/autumn conditions: beautifully dry rock. First scramble in my new Scarpa Mantas. Nice to find the Vibram soles are pretty grippy - though the lack of flex does leave something to be desired on angled rock. 40mph gusty westerly cross-winds necessitated a bit of caution on the exposed walking bits of the route. The climb itself was straightforward. Thrilling situation between the two corries.
